We will be taking a brief break from our Friday night virtual tastings. Be sure to stay in the know when we return by signing up for our email. In the meantime, we recently put out a call for some fresh, new and tasty wine recommendations.
Over the next month, you will be seeing new wines arriving here on our blog and featured in our weekly email newsletters. We hope you enjoy discovering them, too. Keep an eye out and let us know which ones are your favorites.
This week we are featuring some cool new natural wine arrivals. These three bottles check all of the boxes: Organic, Biodynamic, Unfiltered, Unfined (vegan), and fermented with Natural Yeast. Sustainably farmed and tasty selections!
Cheers!
2019 Domaine A. Pegaz Beaujolais Blanc, $20
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay
Tasting Notes: Medium-bodied, nice mouth weight, yellow pear, balanced with soft acidity, a subtle minerality, and very food-friendly. This would pair nicely with cream of potato soup or a bowl of risotto. Stellar white burgundy for the price!
2019 Franchere ‘Cascadia Red’, $21
Grapes: Blend of Pinot Noir, Syrah, Gruner Veltliner, Gamay
Tasting Notes: A very cool red blend from a local experimental winemaker, Mike Hinds. Mostly Pinot noir, with small percentages of both red and white wine (!). This wine has a little bit of that ‘natural funkiness’ to it, in a good way- it’s a touch cloudy, has subtle aromas of ‘barnyard’ on the nose, yet is incredibly fun on the palate. Bright tart fruit, zippy acidity, a touch of grippy texture in the finish- absolutely delish! This wine definitely falls into the ‘interesting and delicious’ category!
2018 Domaine Baron De L’ecluse Cote De Brouilly, $23
Grapes: 100% Gamay
Tasting Notes: Another standout natural French red wine from Beaujolais this week! Beautifully layered structure, bright raspberry and blueberry notes, pleasantly floral aromas, forest herbs and a touch of cocoa in the finish. Superb!
